Privacy advocates have often discussed [how] Google allows your past to haunt you. Any careless mistake or childish prank is preserved on the Internet, forever, available for anyone curious enough to do a Google search.
Well, the problem has really hit home -- so to speak -- for Google's own founder, Sergey Brin, whose college website once included a photo of him in drag.
It's tempting to laugh about how this will completely derail Google's IPO … but I think we as a society need to move beyond our embarrassment, and admit that all founders of major companies did some pretty silly things in college -- the only difference is that Sergey was dumb enough to put them on the Web for all eternity. 4 years ago Reply
